Chapter 477: Alliance of Humans and Monsters
“Go on, tell me,” Zi Jin asked, unable to resist when she heard that Ye Feng had other deals to propose. After all, since he could bring out something as good as the Perfect Gene Elixir, they weren’t surprised if he had more to offer.
“I want to establish an auction hall here…” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“This has nothing to do with us, right? We’re monsters and can’t enter the city,” Mo Luo refused outright.
“Why can’t you enter the city?” Ye Feng countered. “You can transform into humans anyway—no one will recognize you.”
“It’s the first time I’ve met a human who not only isn’t averse to monsters but also wants to mix with them,” You Ming, who usually spoke little, suddenly uttered such a long speech.
“Why us?” Zi Jin asked.
“Firstly, you’re quite close by, so it takes no time for you to come to me. Secondly, the strongest human ancestors are mostly found in three places—main cities, various forbidden zones and secret realms, or cultivating in their own caves. It’s impossible to invite them. Thirdly, as monsters, you don’t have so many complicated schemes, making cooperation with you much easier.”
“I must correct one thing—we’re not stupid. For us, strength is the most important thing, so we don’t like wasting time on other matters. We appreciate your invitation, but we don’t want to spend time on this,” Zi Jin also refused.
“I said this is a deal. If you agree, everything at my auctions will be sold to you at 50% off. I can also give each of you 10% of the auction profits. This is much faster than robbing crystal cores.” Ye Feng offered more incentives. “I know many of the things you steal are useless to you. You can sell them at my auctions to exchange for divine crystals or pills for cultivation. The fees I charge you can also be reduced to half of the normal amount. Most importantly, whatever items you need, I can get them for you at 50% off. Even the legendary beast armor and beast soldiers—I can find people to help you forge them.”
“What do you mean by ‘offering sacrifices’? What do we need to do?” Mo Luo was clearly tempted and couldn’t help asking.
“It’s simple. When you’re bored, you can come by my place. There’s no need to do anything special—just show up for a while. Of course, you can also send your subordinates, those godly strong ones, to represent you. In fact, even those at the Emperor God level who can take human form will do. As long as there’s someone there every day is fine. If there are any disputes at the auction and people need to be captured alive, leave it to me to handle. One more thing: all three of you must attend our auction’s opening ceremony in person.”
“That’s it? You’re quite strong yourself, and with Qingwen’s help, do we really still need you?” Zijin clearly still didn’t trust humans enough.
“We’re short-staffed, with too few strong fighters, especially those who can intimidate godly beings. It’s just me and Qingwen. And I can’t be there every day, while Qingwen has to ensure the safety of my friends. So at least one more person is needed to handle daily affairs.”
“Alright, we’ll only be responsible for capturing people; we won’t get involved in anything else.” Moluo was the first to agree.
“It sounds interesting…” Youming also didn’t refuse.
Ye Feng turned to Zijin.
“What about that commission… can it be changed to 20%?” Zijin asked tentatively.
“No!” Ye Feng refused firmly.
“Then okay, 10% it is.” Zijin hadn’t expected Ye Feng to agree, so he accepted after being rejected.
“Good. Then let’s officially form the Human-Beast Alliance!” Ye Feng took out several sheets of parchment contracts, and everyone pressed their fingerprints on them.
“The name you picked is too ugly…” Youming, the beautiful woman, couldn’t help but complain.
“Indeed!” Moluo chimed in.
“It should be called the Orc Alliance!” Zijin suggested.
“That’s not much better!” Zijin’s suggestion was immediately met with collective criticism.
Ye Feng’s gaze suddenly fell on the two armless strong men. In a flash, he appeared beside them. “I’m sorry for offending you before. Let me help dispel the power of rules from your wounds.”
Ye Feng placed his hands on their left shoulders, forcing out the elemental rules, then handed each of them a bottle of pill. “Consider these two bottles of Soul-Nourishing Pills as compensation for you!”
“Soul-Nourishing Pills!” Zijin and the others lit up. “Are those the pills that can nurture the soul and heal its wounds?”
“That’s right!” Ye Feng nodded.
“Qingwen must have one too. Since he’s staying with you now, this pill belongs to me,” Zijin said shamelessly.
“Well, just this once. Next time, if you want anything, you’ll have to use Spirit Crystals to buy it or exchange things for it.” Ye Feng helplessly took out four more bottles and handed them to the three Monster Kings and Qingwen.
“No problem!” Zijin agreed readily.
“Dao Feng, can you help us find some Transformation Pills?” Youming was the first to ask Ye Feng to help find the medicinal pills.
“Transformation Pills should be available; they’re not difficult to make,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“We want Transformation Pills too! We can pay for them!” Zijin shouted as well.
“Okay, how many do you need?” Ye Feng asked.
“Can we get a hundred each for the three of us?” Youming hesitated for a moment before giving that number. “If that’s too much, fifty will do too…”
“A hundred shouldn’t be a problem,” Ye Feng nodded. “I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything!”
“Then we’ll leave first! You can focus on improving your city from now on,” Zijin said with a smile.
“As long as you don’t cause trouble, this city will soon be completely renewed and become extremely strong.”
After seeing the five people off, Ye Feng led Xiao Yu, Xiao Bei, and Qingwen into the city.
It was Qingwen’s first time entering such a vibrant human city. In the past, during beast raids, once a city was captured, it turned into a dead city. He had only seen lifeless buildings before, so he found everything around him quite novel.
On the large square, Ye Feng gradually floated upward. This place could be considered a platform for announcing important news.
Ye Feng’s voice clearly reached everyone’s ears, “From now on, there will be no more beast raids to disturb us. Everyone can rest assured and repair their houses and walls. Once the city walls are restored, our Sent City will hold an unprecedentedly grand auction. Everyone is welcome to invite their friends to attend!”
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the crowd immediately erupted in excitement…
